Jesse Jackson would like to tell Barack Obama that he is sorry for ripping the presumptive Democratic Nominee with comments that are said to be very nasty and according to a report from CNN they are too bad for them to say on the air. One report notes that conservative radio host Sean Hannity revealed on air that that Fox News is in possession of an exclusive tape of Reverend Jesse Jackson, recorded after an interview when he thought the microphone was off, slamming Barack Obama for “talking down black people on matters of faith” among other issues.
Jackson told CNN that the interview had wrapped up and he didn’t realize his remarks were captured by a “hot” microphone. In a helpful tip to folks like Jesse Jackson that they might want to understand that all microphones are live and hot and all cell phone have cameras and video.
One blogger says that Jackson said he would like to rip a part of Barack Obama's anatomy off and Hannity would only say that it begins with an "n" and is below the waist. Fox News says they will now broadcast the highly anticipated tape tonight (and a whole bunch of times after) live on the Hannity and Colmes show.
That should deliver some huge numbers in for the channel and it will be interesting to hear the entire conversation and what Jesse Jackson really thins of Barack Obama.
This story stinks like rotten fish. A seasoned media pro like Jackson doesnt forget theres a mike in the room, or “assume” it isn’t on.
What’s his angle?
so now we have two N words
Gotta link for the comments of one racist about another racist?
Pass me the pop corn. please.
He screwed up. He didn’t plan this. He’s just being the typical racist and voting for SKIN COLOR not content or character.

open mic, big mouth ping
You can bet Fox doesn’t have the balls to broadcast the video tonight.
What on earth have you done to that squirrel’s testicles??
Exactly my thought when I heard this. A Sister Souljah Squared moment in time.
Perhaps we buy the same aluminum foil? :-}
Or perhaps we have both been around too long not to be suspicious of anything Jesse Jackson is involved in.
I can’t wait to hear it.
Jackson wants something from Obama; or, Obama promised Jackson something for making a scene. Either one could be true.
Maybe it truly doesn’t “stink like rotten fish.”
The rath of the Clintoon Shadow Government and the Democrat Organization is awakening and they dont like this putz making a fool of the Democratic Party.
I just hope the audio quality of the tape doesn’t make it sound like it was monitored along the Ho Chi Minh trail in ‘70. If it sounds like someone recorded a waterfall and added subtitles, I’m going to be disappointed.
Transcript, anyone?
